A. Paper for the People. Orakqedurg, s. C, Dice.isso. Quite an excitement was raised in the Eastern portion of the town at the appearance of a mad dog on Wcndcs j day last. Rumor has it that a eat, two dogs and a colored girl were bit ten. The board of County Commission ers will meet on to-morrow to exam ine the bonds of the new county olli cors. Those that meet the icqnirc mcnts of the law, will be approved aud the officers will enter at once upon their duties. Mu. Amos Balr, a quiet and high ly esteemed citizen ol* Middle Town ship, died last Friday night and was burricd on Saturday. Mr. Bair was about seventy eight years of age and throughout his long life performed hi.- part as parent, neighbor and citi-j zen well.' A hunting party, composed ofi Messrs. W.-W. Culler, C. W. Culler, T. C. ?lbergotti, L. S. Connor and others will leave in a week or ten doys for the hunting grounds on the lower Santce. We wish them good luck and a safe return with 'venison enough for Christmas. Ma;T. S. McG'rcw, ol Middle St. Matthews, died of heart dcser.se on Sunday last. His life was a checker ed one but no incident iu it excited his neighbors with a deeper smypa-l thy than the cruel treatment be re ceived at the hands of the United! States Marshal on the day of election.! lie leaves a large family connection behind him. ? ., . _ I Olk young friend, Mr. Frank Rish er, after a short leave of absence, re-! turned last week bringing with him one of Barn well's fairest daughters as his bride. We wish for the young souplc along life of happiness and! prosperity, tempered only by such1 changes as will make their relation dearer as Ihcy prow older. It is rumored that George Bolivcr will not give up the Clerk's ollice when Mr. Robinson is ready to qualify, but means to hold it untii the last dollor is pocketed and will then wait to be kicked out. On the other hand wet learn Mr. J. II. Livingston is not only ! ready but anxious to surrender the' ?Shejill'a ollice as soon as Mr. Salley is ready to receive the keys. We hear complaints (rom every quarter of tbo wretched condition of the roads. The long spell of wet weather, at the hauling season has made the roads well nigh impassable to every kind of vehicle. We never 6aw the streets of the town in such a condition before?the sternest busi ness necessity only forces one to at tempt a crossing. Tim speech of the evening at the anniversary meeting of the Elliott Hook and Ladder Company was made by Captain John A. Hamilton, who handled the tender subject committed to his care in such a chaste and elo quent manner as to impress every one present ffith the sacredneas of! his theme, "Woman,*' whoso virtues! and beauties certainly found a true; defendeut in Captan Hamilton. j We arc informed that Mr. J. II. Livingston has at lust made a settle- j ment with the Stale and comes out with tho State in debt to him. This' is unusual ami seems to indicate re- i missness of duty on the part of some-; body. Why should the stale allow it I itself to get in the debt of any of its 1 ollleialsor why any official should re main, for years without a settlement | when he knew the state owed him? is a question that gives rise to thought. In many sections of the county the cotton lields are yet white with the fleecy staple, much of which will be lost on account of the unfavorable weather for picking. Wo hear of oue large planter near Fort Motte, who has two hundred acres from which not a boll has as yet been gathered. 11c is culling the slocks down and hauling them homo for the purpose of gathering it In-doors. This plan might be adopted with advantage by others who have more cotton in the field than they are able to gathering. Negroes, tit this season ol tho year are not disposed to work at. any price and farmers will find it diflleult to hire the necessary labor to clean their Holds. .-.- ? , -?:-:?:-.. ?-:-? Dots.?Hoya Christmas is cowing Too numerous to mention?The I Smiths. The ox-tcani is, in many localities, the bull-work of American industry. Subscribers are requested to call and settle their back indebtedness by note or ca6h. The dust is effectually laid for the winter, and the cry now is too much rain and mud. Young and old will be happy till next Christmas if they will only pa tronize Jos. Eros' confectionery. * Mr. A. F. IT. Dukes,..of Branch ville, S. C, is now receiving a large supply of German Salt. Give him a j call. We regret to hear that Dr. W. S. j Barton had his left bond badly mash- j cd in a grain thrasher one day last week. Show your copy of the Democrt to your neighbor, and tell him it's only one dollar a year, and hu may sub scribe. : The Stewards of St. Paul's Metho dist Church wiil meet at the parson a"e to-night. A lull attendance is. desired. We caution our readers about trad ing with Jos. tiros, unless thev want the purest candies, soundest fruits,; ?X;c., at the lowest prices. We regret to hear of the illness of Capt Jesse N. llnigler, of Middle Si. Matthews, and hope soon to hear of his complete restoration to health. Wc learn thai Mrs. A. S. Hydrick has been seriously ill during the week but has changed, wc'hope, for the belter and will si.on be convalescing. Quite a number of our citizens will visit Charleston on the occasion of the annual Fair. Low railroad rates, sight seeing and businsss arc the in-1 documents, You can onlv wish a merry Christ-1 mas, but to make a friend really hap py you ought to back the wish with a hex of I hose line candies from Joseph tiros' confectionery. * Great Sensal ion !

It is harvest time with him. The Newbcrry Actos says: "The Misses Jnnney, Fannie and Julia,! came up on Friday last. It is ruinoi-j ed that Ibcy have come lo lake purl] in a matrimonial launch." For old and young, women and \ children, the great health restorer is Dr. Flagg's Improved Liver and j Stomach Fad, that docs away with mediciuc und always cures. Our thanks arc due Mr. D. C.

The Istiy committee of the Young America Fair will meet December 7, at half-past three o'clock, at the resi dence of Mrs. Scoville. Ladies will come prepared to get their tickets. The mo?t surprising thing in the world is that people will not shut doors cither coming in or going out, particularly in a printing olllce. We feel like throttling all such kind ol people. Wc notice among the contributions to the Young America Fair one from the Home. Insurance. Company, of New York. This is as it should be. We hope our people will remember the Home when lhey insure.
